I just have to pull my weight that's all, I just need to focus, concentrate and remember that I am mission leader. I have to act like it.
I have to ignore the
Whispering Voices.

Chase POV
Following Morning

I walk into the mentor quarters, releasing a rather large yawn. After I woke up during the night, I wasn't able to gain any more sleep, not with my thoughts so on track and loud.
I rub the sides of my temple to reduce the agonising pain and nerves building up inside of me.

Breath Chase, just breath.
I continue to repeat these words inside my throbbing head.
"Hey Chase, Where were this morning? You weren't in your capsule, we were about to go find you!" Leo explains

" I was.... Up early thought I'd just cool off." I reply
It wasn't a lie, but it's not like I was going to tell them to full story of what was happening. No one needed to know and no one needed to worry. I must've been staring off into space, as Adam starts to click in front of my face.

" Earth to Chase. Are you there?" Adam repeats while swaying his hands I front of my hazed view.
" I'm fine. " I stutter back, while breaking my hypnotised state.
" Chase are you sure your ok?" Bree asks concerned while approaching me

" I'm fine. Really I am." I reply in a more cherry tone, to sound more convincing.

They all look at me a little bit more convinced. I plaster w fake smile on my face, and push my negative thoughts to the back of my mind. I didn't want to be trapped in a void of my mind, that's the last thing I needed.

" So what are we going to do today. Go surfing with those beautiful dolphins with the razor sharp teeth." Adam says, completely oblivious to the fact that those dolphins wee sharks, and that we had to train the students.

We all trace our eyes to him and starring at blankly, though it didn't surprise any of us that Adam would say that.
" Hey that's a great idea and while your swimming with a shark, we will be training the students." Bree states
" Sounds good to me!" Adam exclaims, while skippin happily to the door.

" Hey Bob we have to visit a few fish friends!" Adam exclaims
" I swear if Adam didn't have his head screwed on he would eventually loose it!" Leo exclaims, staring at Bree and I intently. We all chuckle at his comment, before we here Mr Davenport shouting in the phone greatly distressed.

" What are you talking about? No don't do anything, don't touch it, don't mess with it, don't do anything. Hello Tom, Tom. Great he touched it!" Mr Davenport cries while slapping his phone against the table and resting in it.
" Mr Davenport what's wrong?" Bree asks, while flicking her hair in my face.

" One of my chief scientists was testing one of Davenport industries latest pieces of technology. It's like the exoskeleton but I updated its software and developed a stronger,  super soldier suit. It's built to withstand a missile hit, but for some reason it's spiralling out of control." Mr Davenport explains between shaky breaths

"What's causing the malfunction ?" I ask curious, while gathering all the information in my head.
It takes a moment of hesitation from Mr Davenport before he begins to speak once again.

" They... They think there is a mole, and they think that there is a person in that building right now. This 'mole' is plotting an attack, on Davenport Industries." Mr Davenport states clearly distressed.
